Yess Restaurant and Evan Funke's eponymous spot open, plus: Old Hollywood-inspired Drake's serves $10 martinis, rising chefs hit Little Tokyo, and more.
The highly anticipated Japanese restaurant from the team that brought a colorful line-caught-seafood truck to the Arts District is now open. Yess Restaurant is the fully realized follow-up to the ambitious and pandemic-spurred Yess Aquatic truck headed by chef Junya Yamasaki . Short-lived Yess Aquatic served casual but impressive sashimi, fish katsu plates and prawn sandwiches.
Yamasaki and his team worked with Southern California fishermen to ensure daily sashimi and other fresh, locally caught seafood for the restaurant. Yess’ seafood menu, which changes frequently, also features grilled miso black cod with turnips and rhubarb; yellowtail with fennel and lemon salad; and trout with loquat.
The new restaurant is a partnership with real estate investor Kurt Rappaport with a main floor that features an amaro bar and an open kitchen and a two-story pasta laboratorio, where diners can view Funke and others rolling, cutting, pinching and otherwise creating the restaurant’s array of fresh pastas. Each is listed on the menu by pasta shape, the region or specific town where he tried it, and the name of the woman who taught him about it.
